Mercury vs Dream predictions
Fans of the WNBA, you’ve got to be buzzing about Phoenix Mercury’s momentum heading into their clash at Gateway Center. After Alyssa Thomas’s massive 32-point outburst, it honestly feels like she’s turning up at just the right time. With her distributing skills—averaging a slick 9.2 assists per game—and her knack for crashing the boards, Thomas could easily flirt with another triple-double. Satou Sabally looks set to keep her scoring rhythm, too; she’s been efficient all season and could be a difference-maker when the game gets heated in the second half. Honestly, this duo gives Phoenix plenty to be excited about, and if they get contributions from their bench, watch out.
Switching gears to the Atlanta Dream, this crew has been quietly solid on their home floor all season. Allisha Gray tends to fill it up from everywhere, and with her 18-plus points per game she’s always a threat to ignite the crowd. Jordin Canada’s crafty playmaking shouldn’t be overlooked either, assuming her day-to-day injury status clears up pregame; she’s the engine that makes the Dream’s offense hum. Add Brionna Jones to the mix—nabbing rebounds and creating second-chance looks—and you’ve got a recipe for another explosive performance in front of the Atlanta faithful. It’s starting to sound like a classic, isn’t it?
So who comes out on top in this WNBA showdown? Honestly, with the Mercury riding the high of Thomas’s stellar play lately, it seems like Phoenix is primed to steal a close one on the road. Atlanta is tough at home, no doubt, and this could come down to a handful of clutch plays in the final minutes. Still, if Thomas continues her do-it-all streak and Sabally finds her groove early, the scales tip ever so slightly in the Mercury’s favor this time around. What do you think—is Phoenix about to make a statement, or will Atlanta defend their turf? Either way, this one’s set to be a thriller.
